This year marks the 72nd Winterhaven Festival of lights, which began in 1949. It’s one of Tucson's longest-running events. This tradition has been observed every year except in 1973 during a power shortage, and last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We meet a few of Winterhaven's residents, some new and some long-time dwellers who are making the season bright.
